Notes on BSSE

• BSSE for two subsystems is an indicator of balanced basis sets• For small basis sets BSSE correction may lead to larger

deviations from experiment (or basis set limit)• BSSE corrected results are less basis set dependent• There may be other errors (BSCE)• Sizeable for intermolecular complexes, but also present for

chemical bonds• BSSE elimination is not always easy. How do you correct an

energy barrier for BSSE?• There is no BSSE for plane wave basis sets

There are cases, for which the Hartree Fock determinant is not asufficiently good starting pointStretched, almost dissociated bonds (H2 example)Biradicals, polynuclear transition metal compoundsAlmost degenerate states (partially occupied d-shells)

GGA functionals (PBE) are often not good enough, buthybrid functionals (B3LYP, PBE0, HSE) are one order of magnitude moreexpensive (with plane waves and pbc two orders of magnitude)

GGA functionals yield more delocalized electronic structures(delocalization of holes), preference for polar structures and too lowenergy barriers.

Partially occupied d-shells, the presence of more than one TM site andthe decoupling of electron pairs in bond breaking processes requires amulti-reference treatment- DFT limited to high-spin, low spin states require broken symmetryapproximation- in general, CCSD(T) is not good enough and not suitable as benchmark- ab initio multi-reference methods cannot treat large enough systemsreliably.
